ProBolts is what I have always used and aluminum AMAP. For things that are load bearing or high torque, go with Ti but get ready to spend big. Aluminum works just fine for most things including engine covers. I torque aluminum about 1/2 ~ 2/3 of spec. Check them often for a while but I never had one come out except on fairings (on my ZX-14). Correction!!!! had the rear rotor bolts come way loose and they were Ti and torqued but not to spec. i have gotten in the habit of undertorquing almost everything except internal stuff to save threads and I use locktite where necessary---worked on the rotor bolts.

My 14 has all aluminum bolts for engine covers. I have not done the oil pan yet but intend to. I use the copper anti-seize PB includes and I never have had an engine cover bolt come loose.

Ti is half the weight of stock steel (stainless should be a gram or two heavier than ordinary steel).

Aluminum is one quarter the weight of steel but threads strip easier thus the hait of under-torquing.

Never had a problem with steel bolts corroding from reaction to aluminum parts but they say it happens. Aluminum to aluminum---no chem reaction.

Fancy bolts are addicting. I'm just warning you. I have a thousand bucks worth on my 14. I haven't added up the weightloss yet but I imagine it's just a pound or two.

I had the impression that you had to be in your early 20s and relatively fresh out of the academy.

I have $1500 total with combination of Pro-bolt Ti and Alum fasteners. As said earlier, anything that is load bearing or hanging weight, use Ti. All other parts I used aluminum. Aluminum on most of these bolts are actually lighter than Ti. I use the anti-seize on both but also use a tad blue loctite or the green loctite on aluminum. Once a few heat cycles the aluminum will be fine for awhile before re-checking. All of the bolts on the Gen I from body panels to everything else, I save a tad over 4lbs.
